THE List.

1. "No Dear, it isn't mine, picked it up for a friend."
2. "No Dear, I only changed the grip."
3. "New club? Where? Aiyoh, I have had that for ages."
4. "I won it in a paid by cash lucky draw. I was lucky to draw it, and I paid in cash."
5. "I am in a rather depressed state now, I just wanted to make myself happy. I can be happy right?"
6. "He gave it to me. I gave him money and he gave me this."
7. "You know you shouldn't be looking at my stuff all the time. I don't want to talk now. This invasion is too much to swallow."
8. "Leave it in the car boot."
9. "It was this, or a night at a KTV. If not for my love for you I would have gone to the KTV. Be thankful for the putter, its a sign of my love for you."
10. "You had a new baby! A long term commitment! I got a putter! looks who's talking."
11. Store your golf bag in a corner that your wife seldom access.
12. Make sure that your wife does not recognize your clubs.

Round 2 Review of Skins ICE

I was in abit of a rush for my round of golf yesterday, so i just slipped on my skins and quickly left the house due to an early morning tee time.

This time round I do not really have time to align the sleeves properly as it got twisted as I donned it on. But what thing I realised is that the Sleeves would automatically straighten out itself after sometime. It is probably due to the design of the Skin or the quality of the kind of fabric that they used.

The Cooling effect of the Skin still works great but to be honest, the difference after one wash is noticeable. I actually prefer the cooling effect of the Skins on this second round. It is not as harsh as before.

For this round, the effect of Skins is also noticeable as it got abit more sunny out there in the back part of our game. My arms did not feel even warm at all, but I could feel the heat coming out of my cheeks. As it was cloudy in the beginning part of the game, I did not apply sunscreen on my face.

And yes, the cooling tingling sensation still kicks in when I took off the skins in the changing room. Oo. I like that feeling.

Skins ICE / Long Sleeve Top

When I first saw this product, I had my own reservations about it. I did not think I will like this. Imagine wearing a leotard to play golf? That was my initial thoughts.

I’d first grabbed the Skins as I was worried about Dubai being too hot for me to truly enjoy my 18 holes. From my sailing background, I know for a fact that such ‘UV suits’ really do wonders in maintaining the body temperature but the downside for me then as a poor poly student was the price tag attached to such suits.

Boss suggested that for brand new Skins it will be advisable to wear the Skins one hour before tee time to let the fabric conform to one's body contour (muscles or fats)

In the morning, once I woke up and washed up, I slipped on the skins. It takes abit of coordination and effort to align the sleeves straight as it gets twisted as you slip the whole suit on.

A cooling sensation takes over the body once the fabric comes in contact with the skin. Imagine yourself immersed completely in menthol or snake powder for the local boys. I am a person who perspires easily. The cooling sensation intensifies as I begin to perspire more.

Into the game, the Skins was not as bad as I had imagined. It was not as clingy as I had expected. I actually sometimes forget that I was wearing it if not for the cooling sensation that the ICE is giving off. It did not interfere with my drives, iron shot, green-side play and even putting!

Weather was not so hot that day for me to really evaluate the true capability of the ICE Skins.

The menthol sensation still lingers after my bath. I will post another review again after a few runs with it.

We are still in an interim period, so there is nothing solid here as of yet.

I have started this blog or fan club based on the good services and products that Big Fish has given us and brought for us.

Whilst discussing about our latest toys, I am sure we will also all share with each other latest techniques and tricks that we learnt to improve our game.

This group is open to all Big Fish Customers. Please kindly drop me an email from your most used email account and I will facilitate to include you in this blog as well.
